Johnny Depp in the “Puffins” series
“Puffins” is an animated series (two shows) that tells the story of puffin birds (a species of seabird with distinctive beaks). The main characters are Tic and Tac, Didi, Pie, and Johnny Puff – a fallen rock star played by Johnny Depp. The “Puffins” series has explored topics such as environmental protection and teamwork.
The characters use a specific dialect that Depp once described as a blend of his own voice with sounds made by real puffins.
In this installment, Johnny Puff and his friends will face their age-old enemy, the puffin Morse Otton. The future of the entire village depends on them. The film is directed by Nestor F. Dennis.
